A very special thank you goes out to good friend and plein aire painter artist woman, Barbara Schoepf, who's been my biggest cheerleader from before this undertaking! Barb was been showing my work to others in Phoenix and New York City with positive results. She was one of the first to purchase my photography before 'LeaPs aBouND!' and literally called at the 11th hour to see how much was needed to make the goal. She 'grabbed' the cash contributions, added the difference, and 'charged ahead' to make 100.0408163265306% FUNDED! </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;">
Thank you again! I love you all! Blessings and grace!</div>

I was curious. Gerdie's house was barely visible from the road, easy to miss. Only the old barn was still obvious amid the wilds that had grown around the property since Gerdie's death, at age 89, in 1986. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;">

Gerdie McGuire had lived down the county road to the east, down the road from where Allice, my best friend since kindergarten, grew up... down the road from where her mom still lives. Our school bus passed by Gerdie's home twice every school day from kindergarten at Lockridge Elementary up through high school in Fairfield, Iowa. I remember being curious about the people who lived there... and that something about the place called to me. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Perhaps I met Gerdie at a community event in Lockridge... at the old town hall. I do not recall. Though the memories of some of the faces in our small farming community remain vivid. As do the long tables full of hot casseroles, jello salads, potato salads, pies, cakes. A hundred paper cups full of red kool-aid. Darlene's maid-rite's ~ loose hamburger, cans of Campbell's condensed chicken gumbo soup cooked up in a few of those huge, rounded, white with a silver lid, now vintage, Westinghouse cookers. Fundraiser donations for the Lion's Club, a sick neighbor, a family who's house burned down ~ including some of those beautiful pies, cakes, and my mom's famous pecan rolls, maybe a fishing pole, a cooler, a quilt ~ stacked on the also-now-vintage heavy wood-seated gymnasium bleachers. But I digress. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;">
I recall meeting Gerdie only a few times, in her kitchen, when, as teenagers, Allice, myself and our circle of girlfriends hopped in Allice's brown Buick four-door sedan to Christmas carol the old folks who lived around our country neighborhood. We filled them with joy, they filled us with homemade fudge and cookies and cocoa. We would call in advance so we wouldn't scare them... so they'd answer the door. The phone calls were equal to placing our orders for treats and sweets. Halloween at Christmastime ~ without the tricks and shenanigans. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Gerdie was "one of those little old round persons". That's how my friend Kathleen describes her mother, Velma... it's a perfect and playful description of Gerdie, too. White hair, an easy laugh, tough, independent, wise. Allice recently reminded me that Gerdie always made peanut butter fudge. The last year we stopped at Gerdie's, we politely accepted the fudge, said we were stuffed from previous homes visited, and we'd eat it later. Gerdie's sight was going bad and she could not see the fur 'frosting' her kitty cat had added to the confections. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I am certain it was Allice who told me that Gerdie hunted and butchered her own deer meat... respectfully, gratefully... as rustic farm folk who didn't have a lot of money did back then. Gerdie and her dearly departed husband, Noel, never had indoor plumbing. Allice recalls that Gerdie did not have electricity until 1973, two years after Noel died. They could not have children. They did, it seems to me, have a beautiful life there surrounded by woods, deer, wild things. </div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Waxing
whimsical my nine-word memoire reads, " Iowa farmer's daughter sprouts
artist-poeta wings ~ flies west!" Thirty years ago I finished
college, grabbed my dreams, and made the big LEAP to Phoenix to teach "for
a few years" while beginning my professional art career. I'd always
dreamt of the mountains, big skies, open spaces and wild places of the west.
I had some great opportunities and successes as an emerging artist in Phoenix.
27 years, several serious illnesses recovered from, too many blast furnace
summers, and a July house-sitting gig in Albuquerque later I knew what I had to
do. I took another big LEAP. I packed my gypsy wagon named
Gracie ('91 Toyota Corolla), pointed her imaginary hood ornament north by
northwest and followed my own smoke signals ~ and a raven ~ back a few 500
miles to the Land of Enchantment, beautiful, smaller, cooler Albuquerque, and
fresh lively new dreams. I've been doing happy dances ever since ~ happy
dances, art, poetry, and photography that is! As I wrote in one of my
poems, "this Phoenix had to leave Phoenix in order to rise."<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">I
feel a strong sense of community here and a deep resonance with the land. My
camera has become my near constant companion, and my photographs are receiving
much praise. My poetry has sprouted wings and flown into a number of
hardcopy and online anthologies. Reading at local poetry open mic venues
has led to gigs as featured poet. My creative vision expands as common themes
in all my works guide me toward combining the photographs, writing and poetry
into encaustic photography, assemblage, sculpture, installation, book

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">A couple of weeks after taking the following photographs in the Jemez
Mountains in late May, I journeyed north, very north to Michigan via NM, TX/OK
Panhandle, Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Lake
Michigan.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I began writing what
would become this two-part post from a cottage near Green Lake (thanks to my
generous Austin framilia) in the northern woods of the lower peninsula of Michigan.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It's been a very wet and late spring in
the Midwest. I'm surrounded by water here at Interlochen... between Green Lake,
Duck Lake with marshes, bogs, and creeks beside, between, and around them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It's a mere 25 miles as the crow flies
to Lake Michigan, which I crossed via a four-hour ferry ride. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I spent 5 hours one afternoon blissfully
paddling in a pretty red canoe... across Green Lake then up and down the
verdant little stream that feeds it.<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>

years old - was a 46 year old woman...<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It had taken the whole of earth woman’s life for the earth to become
what it was. For the oceans to part. For the mountains to rise. The earth woman
was 11 yrs old when the first single celled organisms appeared. The first
animals, creatures like worms and jellyfish, appeared only when she was forty.
She was over forty five - just 8 months ago - when dinosaurs roamed the earth.

earth woman’s life…”</span></div>

I am a RaVe’N with so many beautiful and magical things to
CRoW about! GRiN!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This sweet mornin' I find myself settling into my new home
here at 'Casa von Erffa Prasse' on Indian Farm Lane in the North Valley of
ABQ... in walking distance of the Rio Grande... the river, the nature center,
and the boulevard!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I'm in a
playful mood as I settle into my new home full of easy laughter and fresh
challenges with Sally & Kurt & baby-makes-three-in-9-weeks, & dear Sophia,
their sweet 17-year-old cat... and my new 'gig' as<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>NaNNY JuJu, fée marraine, f.c.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(that's fairy godmother, first class)...<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I be dancin' a jig!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Once upon a time not so long ago I was house-sitting here in
ABQ in the summer of 2010.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I fell
in love with the Land of Enchantment, the friendly community-oriented big small
town of Albuquerque, and particularly the neighborhood referred to as the North
Valley that parallels the Rio Grande. I'd already decided I was going to move here, when, while
driving down Candelaria Road to the Rio Grande Nature Center, I had the thought
that I would love to live in a house in this neighborhood, a home in which I
imagined teaching workshops, hosting retreats, and having fun dinner parties.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(We had one here Sunday night! And<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sally
asked if I would be interested in co-teaching workshops with her.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>YES!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So watch for the announcements.)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As many of you know I had been looking for a new living situation here
in Albuquerque since last autumn ~ and while doing so I have been living more of my gypsy aspect than I'd bargained for...<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>floating from one pet-sitting gig to another to house-sitting, to
"couch-surfing".<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(I'd
say bed-surfing but that would imply more intrigue than happened.) </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It is here that I wish to send out great big ever-lovin'
gratitudes to all who cheered me on and helped get the word out about my
pet-sitting services and my abode needs... in particular, <b>Billy Brown, Virginia
& Ed, Elene, Lizzie, Dawn, Jules, Stephanie,</b> and <b>Alison</b>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Muchos gracias!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And extra special biggie humongous ever-lovin' gratitudes in
particular to the<b> Austin familia</b> who welcomed me into their busy, full familia
household for the previous 15 months; to<b> Susy & Randy</b> who housed me a few
days that I might avoid a nasty bug before my trip to San Francisco to see Victor at Christmas, to <b>Penny</b>, <b>Gregory</b>, and <b>the</b> <b>Goodman's</b> for your hospitality
between gigs; and to <b>Jules</b>, <b>Caroline</b> and her pup, <b>Lola</b>!;<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><b>Marjorie</b> and her kitties, <b>Prince &
Cinnamon</b>; <b>Donna & Phil</b> and their pups, <b>Bohdi & Jackson</b> for the
pet-sitting gigs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How I love y'all
furry and furless alike!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For all this and more I be RaVe'N! XoXo!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> Julie</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Papyrus;">It was really lovely to
have a quiet and relatively unstructured space to come and draw with other

agenda for the art was really refreshing. Julie was there as a knowledgeable
and attentive resource when needed and helped me solve a perspective problem I
have been struggling with for quite a while. Thank you Julie!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

... the chamisa of the rabbit bush variety (Four-Wing Saltbush is
also called chamisa.) Chamisa is so much more charming than <i>Ericameria nauseosa, </i>rubber rabbitbrush, gray rabbitbrush... and rabbit bush, which I like, too. <i>In
American Spanish, it is also spelled <b>chamiza</b>,
<b>chamizo</b>, from Spanish meaning brushwood,
kindling, from Portuguese or Galician <b>chamiça</b>, from <b>chama </b>flame, from
Latin flamma</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Perhaps that is more than you want to know about Chamisa,
but I am a curiouser & curiouser Alice... and follow many a curious thought
under the chamisa and down it's rabbit holes, digging deeper if the hole isn't
satisflyingly deep enough. Yes, a
misspelling, but I like how it embellishes my meaning... satisFLYingly! Falling, flying... sometimes tis the same thing, no? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Chamisa is also a surname, a given name, and a flower
essence remedy... all with meanings the have resonance. To be continued... <span style="font-family: 'Scriptina Pro'; font-size: 13.5pt; text-align: center;">xoxo, julie, de losChamisas </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Hair today, grass tomorrow</b>... LOL! I'm in a playful mood... hope you enjoy my photos. I oft think of the similarities between hair and grass... connections everywhere. I posted this and had gone to bed, picked up the book I'm reading, <u>American Indian Myths and Legends</u>, selected and edited by R. Erdoes and A. Ortiz. I read the story, <i>Creation of the Animal People</i>, an Okanogan creation story, and found yet another connection to include here... thus adding the sacred to the silly! (...everything is sacred, even the silly)<br />
<br />
And this is the part that applies. It begins:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">The earth was once a human being: Old One made her out of a woman. "You will be the mother of all people," he said. </span></i></div>
<i><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></i>
<i><span style="font-size: large;">Earth is alive yet, but she has changed. The soil is her flesh, the rocks are her bones, the wind is her breath,<b> trees and grass are her hair</b>. She lives spread out, and we live on her...</span></i><br />
<br />
I advise caution though, once you get past the lovely photopoetic meditation... if you dare to read the 'FLAXEN' remainder of my stream-of-consciousness, hair-brained, free-fall-association-sunday's mental meanderings... I shall not be responsible for any levity you may experience! </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; text-align: justify;">Wistful, reflective, soothing... I am en.vel.op'd in a sepia haze... seeing through the August lens of summer's Dog Days... my first post in over a month. I've been meditating on the photos I've taken this summer. This little 'film' was shot from one of my favorite 'locales' ~ the inside of the Southwest Chief. (<i>I did not get the name of these young Mennonite folk. If this is you, let me know!</i>) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; text-align: justify;">Note the water bottle, the cell phone... </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; text-align: justify;">There are countless untold stories along this rail line, out on this magnificent, beautiful, wide open, abundant and at once unforgiving drought-prone landscape. </span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; text-align: justify;">I invite you to enjoy this visual narrative, this unwritten story. As with all work, it is a self-portrait of sorts. I think it strikes a universal cord. xoxo, Julie</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal; line-height: 25px;">Summer is reminding me again of the value of pace and moving slowly through this luscious, gorgeous world... rain or shine, plenty or drought, no matter the season yet aware of each and every moment. Grace dances in this circle with Synchronicity and Serendipity ~ Sisters Three. They dance in this three-part entry... as the separate titles become their own poem. </span></h1>

revelation to walk in the Elena Gallegos Open Space this morning after

the bunches of blue grama grasses ~ dormant until yesterday! Everything
is singing in green... a crow, even the shy blue scrub jay hiding in a juniper, and the sweet
little black-throated gray warbler flitting around these high desert pines. And me? Today was the day I fell in love with the one-seeded juniper trees as they whispered secrets about Georgia O'Keeffe. </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
